Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Aconitum 'Blue Lagoon' is the shortest and most compact cultivar yet available. Growing to only 10-12 inches, it's perfect for containers or the front of the border. It has handsome dark green foliage and showy bright blue flowers that start blooming lower on the stalks for a showier display from top to bottom. Blooms from mid to late summer when few other blue flowers are present in the garden. All parts of the plant are poisonous so don't use it in salads. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.

A short Monkshood with handsome dark green foliage standing just about 12" tall. It's deer resistance and mid to late summer display of spires of violet blue hooded flowers make this a good candidate for many of us looking for a front of the border blue. Hint: Adding limestone when planting Aconitums makes them happy.
